AI hallucinations are introducing serious security risks into critical infrastructure decision-making by exploiting human trust through highly confident yet incorrect outputs. When an AI model lacks certainty, it doesn’t have a mechanism to recognize that. Instead, it generates the most probable response based on patterns in its training data, even if that response is inaccurate.…

An anonymous cybersecurity researcher who disclosed three Microsoft Defender vulnerabilities has returned with two more zero-days involving a BitLocker bypass and a privilege escalation impacting Windows Collaborative Translation Framework (CTFMON).

Microsoft has unveiled a new multi-model artificial intelligence (AI)-driven system called MDASH to facilitate vulnerability discovery and remediation at scale, adding that it’s being tested by some customers as part of a limited private preview. MDASH, short for multi-model agentic scanning harness, is designed as a model-agnostic system that uses bespoke AI agents for different…

A threat actor with affiliations to China has been linked to a “multi-wave intrusion” targeting an unnamed Azerbaijani oil and gas company between late December 2025 and late February 2026, marking an expansion of its targeting. The activity has been attributed by Bitdefender with moderate-to-high confidence to a hacking group known as FamousSparrow (aka UAT-9244),…

TL;DR: Stop chasing thousands of “toast” alerts. Join experts from Wiz and Okta/GitLab to learn how hackers connect tiny flaws to build a “Lethal Chain” to your data—and how to break it. Register for the Strategic Briefing Here. Most security tools work like a smoke alarm that goes off every time you burn a piece…

Security teams have never had better visibility into their environments and never been worse at confirming what they fix stays fixed. Mandiant’s M-Trends 2026 report puts the mean time to exploit at an estimated negative seven days. The Verizon 2025 DBIR puts median time to remediate edge device vulnerabilities at 32 days. These numbers have…
